I used to use a GoPro Hero 4 from underwater video, but since seeing some outputs from the Sony RX100, and considering I already owned one (Sony RX100iii) as my palm sized land camera I decided to buy an underwater housing for it.

My budget wasn't huge, so I purchased a Meikon underwater housing, which came with a red filter as well as a tray with one arm. I separately bought a "Sea and Sea" 1000 lumens video light (circa $150).

I've tried a few different things - and I'm not yet...

River is interesting by shape - total lenght around 436 km, but distance from the mouth to the source just 60 km
Many karst caves and sources along this river.

What are the pros and cons of this piece of equipment ?

For what type of diver, or what type of diving, would this camera be a good "fit" ?]]>9Which GoPro should I buy - will only use 2-3 times a yearWed, 07 Nov 2018 16:04:11 +0000https://www.scubaboard.com/community/threads/which-gopro-should-i-buy-will-only-use-2-3-times-a-year.569943/

I'll be doing a few dives in the keys next month and I've finally decided to purchase a camera. I'd been using my old iPhone5 with a watershot case. It did okay, but I've missed too many awesome shots because I forgot to turn off the autolock feature ... the last time this happened I missed documenting mantas.

Anyway, I'm primarily a vacation diver and probably only dive two or three times a year. I would like to take still shots as well as videos, but I don't...

I would like to hear your opinions on my following thoughts.
Currently, I deal with the question if I should switch from the Sony RX 100 V to the
GoPro Hero Black 7 - or not.
I guess, many people would tell me that the Sony would win "hands down" this race.
But is it really true? Here are my thoughts and experiences:

Over a period of, roundabout, 3-4 years, I was quite happy with the GoPro Hero 4 Silver.
I filmed just diving videos with it. Nothing else....

I was a bit disappointed with how some of the wide shots turned out, I'm not sure if it's down to the TG5 or wide angle lens I was using but some scenes that looked clear in real life like the big schools of hammerheads turned out very blurry in video. The vis looks 5-10m worse than it actually was.

This was one of the...
